EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a poignant moment in American history. Taken by Lewis W. Hine in August 1916, the image showcases young Harold Oliphant driving a plow through a cornfield in Bowling Green, Kentucky. The sepia-toned print evokes a sense of nostalgia for an era long gone. In this snapshot, we witness the toil and labor of early 20th-century farm work. Harold, just a boy at the time, is seen wearing worn-out overalls and donning a hat to shield himself from the scorching summer sun. His determined expression reflects the weight of responsibility that child laborers often carried during this period. The vastness of the cornfield stretches out behind him as far as the eye can see, symbolizing both opportunity and hardship for those working on these farms. This photograph serves as a reminder of the difficult conditions faced by many working-class families who relied on agriculture for their livelihoods. Lewis W. Hine's powerful composition not only documents an important aspect of American history but also sheds light on issues such as child labor and rural poverty prevalent during that time. Preserved by Library of Congress' Granger Art on Demand collection, this print invites us to reflect upon our past while appreciating how far we have come in terms of workers' rights and social progress.
